Chart of the month
The outbreak of a new coronavirus in the central Chinese city of Wuhan triggered a risk-off mood. This prompted
a deceleration in net new assets creation in European domiciled funds and ETFs for both onshore Chinese
equities (A shares) and offshore equities (H Shares). The full extent could not be seen due to market closure in
the last week of January for the Lunar year holidays. Global emerging equities continued to gather assets over
the month.
